Rwanda: UN genocide tribunal reduces jail terms for three media executives

The United Nations tribunal dealing with the worst crimes committed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide has reduced the jail sentences of three former media executives convicted for inciting their compatriots to kill ethnic Tutsis. A five-member appeal panel at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), which sits in Arusha, Tanzania, upheld the convictions of Ferdinand Nahimana, Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza and Hassan Ngez.
